Golden Girl



Rummage through your old trinket box and pull out as much gold you can find. Layer Egyptian inspired earrings with the biggest Del Boy watch you can get your manicured finger tips on. Wrap yourself in sequins and jewels and sparkle like the bronzed glamazon you are. Crop tops are still huge this season; team yours with some tracksuit inspired trousers. Comfy and hitting the sport lux trend on the head: bonus. If you're a pale beauty, be brave and ditch the fake tan. Make a real statement and let your porcelain skin sparkle; the bronze embellishment will stand out beautifully against the snow white back drop. Be warned though - a tanned midriff will always look slimmer. Looks like we might be reaching for the St Tropez bottle after all...

Queen of Green




The freaky February weather means we don't know whether we should be rocking knit wear or Ray-bans. With short flurry's of snow followed by bursts of sun - our wardrobes are growing increasingly confused. Have the best of both worlds, and wrap yourself in a short sleeved jumper. The free arms will keep you cool while the fury material ensures you midriff is nice and toasty. Get yours in a delicious pastel colour; the delicate shade will take you all the way though spring (and maybe the summer as we're relying on the British weather). Keep the look colourful and team yours with a bright skirt. This emerald design is a Topshop bargain at £20. The asymmetric edging provides an interesting finish and the classic wrap shape means it's a real investment. Pop on some opaques, heels and a leather jacket to top off the look and beat the winter chill.

Stud and Deliver




































































































Monochrome has always had the magic touch when it comes to keeping stylish. The minimal colour scheme keeps you looking cool without much effort. Season after season, models are seen sauntering down the runways wearing the basic colour combo. Black is sinfully slimming and a touch of white adds that extra pizazz to any outfit. This Winter, take a nod to the nineties and sport a neck skimming vest top. Add lashings of silver studs and chains and top the look of with some old school creepers. The 90s trainer is unbelievably comfortable; the thick sole not only cushions your step - it gives your legs a sneaky lift without even a hint of a  heel. A touch of glamour can easily be incorporated to the look by draping a blazer over your shoulders (N.B. the wind may keep blowing it off so no one will judge if you decide to actually wear the jacket).

Do It Like A Dude



Flicking through the latest issue off any fashion weekly, you will see a cluster of fabulous dresses draped over stunning females. Cheyl, Tulisa and Rhianna all have a closet full of the latest edgy catwalk creations but its time for them to take of their fashion crown and hand it over to our new style crush: Labrinth.

The 23 year old London singer might be a male, but with get ups like these it would be a crime again fashion ignore his efforts. The talented star has already been recognised for his style and featured in GQs 100 best dressed list at 41. Lab is a serial colour blocker and is frequently seen rocking fashion forward bright trousers with clashing shirts. In a recent photo shoot, the singer wore a canary yellow shirt with a pair of  bold green jeans! House of Fraser have a feminine version of his shirt with capped sleeves. 

Earlier this year, at Wireless festival, Lab wore a denim shirt with a leopard print  pocket and cuffs. The clashing material and pattern caught our eye - and heart! To copy his style, Rokit have produced a similar design for only £25! The long sleeves and high collar means it will be cosy in the winter as well as eye catching! Who said winter fashion had to be dark and boring?

To truly evoke Labs style and make him proud - add a bow tie to your shirt. And of course a pair of his signature thick rimmed specs!
